Li Rui, with a keen sense of intuition, looked at the two demons and immediately knew what they were up to, feeling both frustrated and amused.
This bunch of guys didn't even ask clearly what kind of backing I have on my side and already started acting like they're ready to sacrifice themselves.
He couldn't be bothered to explain, simply asking, "When can we leave?"
"Give this old man half a day to prepare, how's that?" the old demon said.
"Sure, we'll wait for you then."
Li Rui wasn't deliberately waiting; before entering the desert, they also needed to prepare some food and water.
In the meantime, he inquired around the village and eventually requested a piece of shade cloth, made from the silk of drought-resistant silkworms they raised, refined with demon techniques. Although precious, it pales in comparison to the Centennial Blood Ginseng.
